It is common for a dog to eat the placenta of the puppies after she gives birth. On rare occasions, a dog will eat her puppies when they die or right before death because she instinctively knows that there is something wrong.
No, getting shots will not prevent a dog from having pups. Sterilization surgery, such as spaying or neutering, is the effective way to prevent dogs from reproducing. Shots (like vaccines) help prevent diseases, not reproduction.
it can take up to 2 hours between pups being born, if the 2 pups she had were still born there could be a health issue with the dog. what kind of dog do you have? what have you done with the stillborn pups? is your dog digging in the area where the pups were born? keep an eye on this digging behavior as she could have pups inside her still if it continues take her to the vet.
Yes as long as its not storming out, dogs are fine
Typically, puppies are weaned off their mother's milk by 6-8 weeks of age. Once puppies are eating solid food well and are no longer relying on their mother's milk, the mother dog can begin to reduce nursing sessions. It's important to monitor the puppies' behavior and ensure they are eating and drinking independently before fully weaning them.
Sometimes the mother dog may not have enough teets to feed her large brood of pups, or, if she refuses to feed the pups she may not be well and a vet should have a look at her. She may have an infection or another problem. There are some female dogs who do not make good mothers and simply refuse to feed their pups. Either the owner has to bottle feed the pups or, if a breeder get another female to feed the pups. The worst breed I've seen recently is some Doberman females who will, for unknown reasons eat her healthy pups. Sometimes females will eat a pup when it is first born if there is something wrong with it, but the Doberman females are different.
may be it has problems.
Usually a father dog does not know his pups
Their teeth grow to be used for eating meat, so yes
If she starts eating them or just stops taking care of them. Due to maternal instincts, it's highly unlikely.
Your gonna have to feed the pups yourself if you don't your pups will die. If the dogs breast are swollen then your dog is sick.
Dogs should not be eating pastries made for people. There are some specialty shops that make dog treats that look like people-food, but they are nutritionally designed for pups.
yes
The larger the dog the larger the litter
no if you have 2 females and ones going to have pups the other female will mate (if she can) and then they will share pups i know this as it has just happened with my dogs
my dog had pups and it was 4 but now i have 2 can not find the other 2.
Big dogs can have up to 8 or 9 pups
